1 Claim.

This invention relates to attachments for hair combs and has for the primary object the provision of a device of the above stated character which may be easily and quickly. applied to a conventional type of comi so that during the combing of the hair the latter will also be effectively brushed, obviating the use o! a conventional brush after the combing -of the hair and also will effectively remove dandruff and the like from the hair while being combed.

With these and other objects in view this invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation illustrating a comb with an attachment applied thereto and constructed in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is an edge view of a comb with the attachment applied thereto.

Figure 3 is a plan view illustrating the attachment.

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 4--4 of Figure 1. l

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral l indicates a conventional type of comb to which my invention is applied. A head 2 carries parallel and relatively spaced members 3 and secured to each of said members is a plurality of tufts of bristles 4. The members 3 and the bristles 4 form a pair of brushes and are adapted to be positioned upon opposite sides of the teeth of the comb 1, as shown in the drawing. Connecting members 5 are provided between the members 3 (Cl. 13b-88) and are adapted to pass between pairs of teeth of the comb and frictionally engage therewith so as to retain-the brushes in opposite positions upon each side of the comb. The ends of the connecting members 5 are in the form of eyes to 5 receive the members 3.

In operation, the comb is moved through the hair in the usual manner for the purpose of combing the hair and during this operation the brushes 4 contact with the hair thereby eilectively brushing the hair at the same time that the hair is combed which obviates the conventional practice of rst combing the hair and then brushing the hair by a brush separate from the comb. The device besides saving time in combing and brushing the hairywill also aid in removing dandrui and the like from the hair dueto the fact that the teeth dislodge the dandrui! and the brushes remove the dislodged dandrui! from the hair. 20

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be understood that minor changes in construction. combination and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, as claimed.

Having described the invention, I claim:

An attachment for combs comprising spaced members, tufts of bristles carried by said members to form brushes, connecting elements positioned between and frictionally engaging pairs of teeth of a comb and having eyes to receive said members for supporting the brushes at opposite sides of the comb, and a rigid head connecting said members and positioned outwardly and in 35 engagement with an end tooth of the comb.

BENJAMIN RESNICK.
